Description

“The border is not only a line on a map; it is a moral horizon.” In Theology at the Borders, Carlos Ramalho traces how the Lutheran Church of Sweden navigated the perilous space between neutrality and responsibility during the Nazi era. Drawing from archival sources, theological reflection, and postmodern ethics, the book explores how faith became both refuge and reckoning at the edge of catastrophe. With rare sensitivity, Ramalho examines Sweden’s moral paradox: a neutral nation that became a sanctuary for thousands, yet also a silent witness to Europe’s destruction. Through the lens of Lutheran theology, he reimagines the border as a place of conscience, where theology crosses into history and history demands theology. This is not only a work of history, but a meditation on what it means to rescue, and to remember, in an age still haunted by silence.
